Did you know when you're buying, selling, or refinancing a home you ALWAYS have the choice of which real estate professionals help you along the way? That's right! You get to choose! You will be the one paying for the services provided by these professionals, so you get to choose where your money goes. Below are just few examples of the people you can choose to help you:

Selling a home? You get to choose your real estate agent and your title company.

Buying a home? You can choose your real estate agent, title company, as well as your lender, who you want your homeowners insurance through, and most times, who does the appraisal on the home you're buying.

Refinancing? You have your choice of lenders, title companies, homeowners insurance providers, and appraisers.

Wow! That's a lot of choices!

The best way to make sure you get your top pick of professionals is to make the choices early. It's difficult to change title companies in the middle of the home buying process if you're near your closing deadline, and you lender has already submitted your previous title companies work for approval.

Another tip is to make your choice clear to each professional you meet along the way. For example, when buying a house, the first time you meet with your real estate agent, tell them which title company, and which lender you would like to use. When you meet with your lender to fill our your loan applications, let them know which real estate agent, title company, appraiser, and homeowner insurance provider you would like to use. This ensures that everyone will be clear about your choices.

Using people you know or have had experience with before, is a great way to make sure your next real estate transaction goes as smoothly as possible. So go on.... MAKE YOUR CHOICE!
